2023-24 Season is underway!

Houston Chamber Ringers is the Artist-in-Residence at Lone Star College-Tomball! We have a new rehearsal home in the music building, and our concerts will mostly be held on campus in their gorgeous Performing Arts Center.
Vs.
A Concert of Conflict and Resolution
​
Hero versus villain, good versus evil, life versus death: conflict and resolution is as important to music as dissonance and harmony. Join Houston Chamber Ringers for a remarkable night of music that explores our need to strive and triumph over our competitors, our enemies, and even ourselves. Selections range from the profound (Schubert's "Erlkönig") to the cheeky ("Duelin' Banjos"). Music that tells stories of confrontation and reconciliation is just the start of what we hope will be a groundbreaking concert that will also feature the silent short "Dodge Your Debts," with HCR performing the accompanying score and all the sound effects! One performance only!
Tickets: $15 Adults, $10 Students/Seniors, Children 4 and younger are free

Are You Ready to Up Your Game?
Enroll now for our Spring 2024 season of Houston Ringers Masterclass!
​
Masterclass is for anyone who wants to strengthen their bell-ringing skills. Especially:
-
Directors who want to practice skills to teach to their choirs.
-
Ringers who want an intensive study of technique.
-
Ringers who want to audition for HCR someday, but don't have the skills yet.
-
Ringers without a current choir who want that advanced ringing fun without a long-term commitment.
Classes are 6-7pm Tuesdays at Lone Star College-Tomball starting March 19.
Comments from evaluations
"Great opportunity to improve musical ability"
"I enjoyed the Masterclass and may attend another one as it was generally enjoyable just to learn and ring along with some expert handbell players."
"The Sound of our choir immediately improved after naturally applying the techniques employed by Stevie and enforced by the Chamber Members who were there."
"The class has improved my feeling about my ability and overall ringing performance. Thank you!"
